Specialty Areas

My research focuses on understanding the relationship between the affective and cognitive processes that lead to our experience of emotion, with a particular interest in how that relationship is reflected in brain structure and function. I approach this question from a constructionist perspective and have focused particularly on the dimensional model of emotion that includes the dimension of “emotional dominance” (the sense of being in control or out of control in an emotional context). Research in my lab has thus far demonstrated that processing emotional dominance activates brain regions related to the salience network and the default mode network. These regions have also been implicated in dissociative processes and I am also investigating dissociation as an emotion regulation process. My research includes the use of both neuroimaging and behavioral methods, including functional MRI, structural MRI, resting state fMRI and cognitive, emotion and personality assessment.
